The issue is not just money, it's time, which includes shopping, preparation, and cleanup in addition to cooking.

I love cooking, but after a long day's work, when you have other stuff you want to do, sometimes it's hard to fit in cooking too; even just "throw some rice and veggies into the rice cooker" (a simple, tasty, cheap, and healthy meal) sometimes seems a huge burden...

A slow cooker is your friend! When I was younger and foolisher, there would be days when I would stay up for 48 hours straight coding. I still always had pulled pork, soup or congee of some sort (three of the simplest things to make with a slow cooker) to keep me going.

Now, I've just learned to take my time with things. No longer do I let things rush me.
